Game Rules for Tricky Trivia:

1. No use of electronic devices: Players must not use any electronic devices, including smartphones, tablets, or computers, to search for answers or seek assistance during the game. Any player caught using electronic devices will receive a warning. (Unless the game is on Kahoot - Searching for answers is still not permitted even on Kahoot.) 

Punishment for breaking rule 1: For the first offense, the player will receive a warning. If caught again, the player will lose a predetermined number of points, typically equal to the question's value. Multiple offenses may result in disqualification from the current game or subsequent games.

1. No collaboration: Players must not collaborate or communicate with other participants during the game. Each player should rely solely on their own knowledge and abilities.

Punishment for breaking rule 2: If collaboration is detected, all collaborating players will lose a predetermined number of points, typically equal to the question's value. Repeated offenses may lead to disqualification from the game.

1. Answer within the time limit: Players must provide their answers within the specified time limit for each question. Failing to do so will result in the answer being considered incorrect.

Punishment for breaking rule 3: If a player consistently fails to answer within the time limit, they may lose a predetermined number of points for each unanswered question. Multiple offenses may result in disqualification from the game.

1. Respect the host and fellow players: Players must maintain a respectful and sportsmanlike attitude towards the host and other participants. Any form of harassment, bullying, or disruptive behavior will not be tolerated.

Punishment for breaking rule 4: In the event of disrespectful behavior, the host may issue a warning to the player. Repeated offenses may result in immediate disqualification from the game and potential banning from future trivia events hosted by the same organizer.

1. Follow the host's instructions: Players must adhere to the instructions and guidelines provided by the host throughout the game. Failure to do so may result in penalties or disqualification.

Punishment for breaking rule 5: If a player consistently fails to follow the host's instructions, they may lose a predetermined number of points for each instance. Repeated offenses may lead to disqualification from the game.

1. No cheating or exploiting loopholes: Players must play the game honestly and not attempt to cheat or exploit any loopholes in the rules or technicalities of the game.

Punishment for breaking rule 6: If a player is found cheating or attempting to exploit loopholes, they will be immediately disqualified from the game and potentially banned from future trivia events hosted by the same organizer.

Note: The severity of punishments can be adjusted by the host or organizer based on their discretion and the nature of the offense. The ultimate punishment, a ban from playing trivia, should be reserved for repeated and severe violations of the rules.
